SEAFORTH • AYR • 1 AMB,e • WOODSTOCK 16 — THE BRUSSELS POST JULY 4 1979 Brussels Bombers now playing serious ball BY SCOOP Well, Bomber fans, back to the old ball game. It's time to tell you about some of the games we've played now that I've introduced the team to you. The month of June has been a good month, for a change. The girls have decided to play serious ball -- Muzz can't believe it. He only smokes half a pack of cigarettes instead of a whole one. This year, Muzz has a ' problem. Of course he has more than one, but this has to do with ball. When coaching in third base, he has trouble with his whoas and gos. The girls can't understand him. If he took the cigarette out of his mouth and quit mumbling Ruth would know he said whoa and not have to race like mad for home. In Rostock, she took out the catcher and pitcher and the ump scrambled for the fence. When the dust cleared, we had to send out the medics to pick up the bodies. Get your signals straight, daddy-o. It was a terrific game. We won 21-3, even though Dusty, our first base coach gets confused and sends Shulz on to second on a fly ball with only one out. Muzz sent her to the dug-out for the rest of the game. He's reconsidering her contract. Now he calls her dummy. She'll have to really prove herself next game. We played three games and won three. We downed Wellesley 19-6. We not only had to beat Wellesley, we also had to beat the ump--he made up his own rules. He allowed the pitchers only five pitches in warm-up but for- got to tell us. The star of this game was Mama Lowe. She hooked herself to the fence with her chest protected and it took 15 minutes to get her un-hooked. Now there's a hole in the fence because we had to use wire cutters. The next game was in Mitchell and we won again 15-0, We decided in this game not to let the other team past second base. This time it was "Lefty" who really confused the games-- we can't figure out what game she's playing. The bases are loaded--she drib- bles a hit to the pitcher. She somehow makes it to first, and forces everyone to make a mad scramble. Mini on first, goes to second, Shultz heads for third and if you've ever seen her run, even a six year old would beat her. Instead of stopping, Lefty heads on to second, forcing Mini in to third, Shulz on to home. Muzz was chewing his nails and the girls on the bench were yelling stop, but on she came. Muzz is ye lling at Mini at third to whoa, then go, then no, then when Mini looks arour. who's coming on to third but. Letty. That would make two of us and the third base min at third, so on goes M:n1 Muzz runs out and grabs visitor BY DEBBIE RANNEY "Everybody's more easy- going in Alberta than here. It's a more relaxed atmos- phere," says Ruth Ann Smith, a former Brussels area resident who returned for a short visit last week with her grandmother, Mrs. Adeline Smith. Ruth Ann was on her way from her present home in Lethbridge, Alberta, to Guelph where she is to be one of four delegates from the Presbyterian church in Lethbridge attending a .church conference. Summers are not as humid in Alberta but winter tem- peratures reach ten below (although it doesn't seem that cold) according to Ruth Ann. Her family moved to Edmonton after leaving Brussels, but later moved to Lethbridge where they have been living for the past three years. The Presbyterian church of Canada • is sponsoring the conference Ruth Ann will be attending where she looks forward to meeting people and finding out other people's views. Sessions and workshops at the conference, called Con- ference '79 will cover such Smiles A man decided to sell his racehorse, Irving, very cheap even though the animal had won several races during the season, "He's too much of a ham," the owner told a prospective buyer. "He thinks he's an actor. When he won a race by four lengths, he sneered at the other horses, and last week in a photo finish, he turned his head so the camera could get his' good side." "I don't, care if he wants to be an actor," said the buyer. "I'll take him anyway. Here's your money." The seller pocketed the money and led the buyer to the stable. "Irving," he said, "this is your new owner. Get up and do your lame impres- sion." hold of Lefty to stop her and sends Mini who by now is exhausted, home, and runs into Shulz who just made it home. By this time ,Muzz is a nervous wreck, downing the nerve pills--two cigarettes going. The other team is totally confused--they're throwing the ball allover trying to get one of us. As you can see, we were on the move. Of course, the pitchers had a lot to do with winning the game. With two pitchers, the other team just doesn't know what they're going to throw. Flo just throws them in so high and slow, Mitchell thought they'd kill the ball, but instead they put their backs out. Flo just grins. Mini had a good two innings three balls thrown, three out. Same as the next inning, only the first base man Slammer pushed the hair out of her eyes and missed the ball, so it took four balls to set three out. Our next game is against topics as "Ourselves as Others See Us," "Christian Dimensions of Human Rights" and "Points of Justice and Love." Ruth Ann hopes to use the information she gains to help out others. She was sent to the confer- ence by her church session in Lethbridge. Ruth Ann, 17, is the daughter of Ross and Esther Smith who formerly lived at what is now the John. Bone- schansker residence at RR 1 Ethel. Sebringville, Friday in Sebringville. ThiS- should be an exciting game. This time, we're not going to let them win, no matter what Muzz says. Our home games start July 1.1 against Rostock, July 18 against Wellesley and July 25 against Mitchell, all at 8:30. Mary "Grandma" Lowe has agreed to sell popcorn again this year. She has hired Vera to sell the pop. Business was so good last year, they're thinking of selling pendants. Royal Jerry Dillow has also agreed to be cheerleader for us. He did a terrific job for us from the bleachers last year. See you at the ball game. It's more relaxed in Alberta, says
